Comment:I started sertaline for depression with ocd and premenstrual diorder. I have been taking 25 mg. for 4 months. I feel so much better! depression gone, intrusive thoughts much better and PMS has eased. Nights sweats every night, sometimes sleepy all day, other times times tons of energy. I had extreme anxiety which caused me too be underweight, starting weight before meds were 90lbs...4 months later...101 lbs. Ferocious appetite and never full. These factors outweigh the good that zoloft has given me. I realize i was in a terrible state and really needed help.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I've been on Welbrutin for years and it had not helped me, so I finally went back to doctor to try something different and she started me on Zoloft and mentally I felt AMAZING.

I was just so happy for once I couldn't beleive it. The fall back for me was the constant diareaha. It was to extreme for me to continue taking Zolofot. Trying Lexapro as of now. So far the Lexapro just makes me feel flat, no real highs or real lows but not felling amazing either. May move on to try Prozac next. Hide Full Comment

Comment: Zoloft is, hands down, the best all-inclusive antidepressant. I had results almost immediately. It made me able to get out, eased social anxiety, panic, depression, and OCD. Unlike other SSRIs/SNRIs, Zoloft does not make me tired. It has been a God send.

Comment:In August 2014 I started taking Sertraline 200mg once daily for depression and anxiety. Over the next couple months, I noticed that my hair had gotten thinner. By December it was coming out in the handfuls. I have been off of Sertraline for 3 weeks now and have not seen any signs of improvement. Being a 20 year old female college student with very long hair, this was a huge deal for me. It resulted in cutting my hair 10 inches, just so that when my hair fell out, it wouldn't be in such long strands. I would consider this to be a severe side effect, considering it resulted in lowered self esteem and returning depression. Hide Full Comment
